When links are found broken in a block, I expect deleting the block would resolve the problem. This does not happen. Even after marking for re-check, they are still shown in the Broken Link report.

FormID has changed between D6 and D7, upgrade leftover. THX for report!

Just as note to get the DB clean, uncheck blocks scanning in linkchecker setting and re-enable it. Than the dead references are killed and the latest are re-created. In Future all is consistent with this patch. You will not lose anything like link specific check settings.

Hi,
I am using link checker module in Drupal 7.7 for checking broken links. Following links which are working but still reported as broken in report.

5. http://www.thehideout.org.uk

There are many more, but above looks to be specific case. Is it because of special character and redirection to https?

@visi282001: Please update on this once you have tested with the latest release of Link Checker. You have indicated that your release was the early "dev" version, not the latest release. I think you should also be using the latest stable release of Drupal core, not the Drupal 7.7 release from about 8 months ago. Developers can not work with bug report based on older releases of a module.

Answer to #4:

#1) Looks ok, status is 200 OK
#2) Looks ok, status is 200 OK
#3) The geotrust intermediate CA certificate not installed. Looks like newbie administrators on these site...
#4) same like #3
#5) 302 Found, temporary redirection - all OK, too.

Any D7 Linkchecker version before mid January 2012 or before beta1 IS BROKEN. Upgrade to beta1 and never use DEV versions if you are not a developer, please.

Never high-jack again other unrelated cases, please.

Hi Hass,
Thanks for update. I was out for some time, now back again.
As I mentioned, I was using dev-version of link-checker module.
I will be testing latest module with new Drupal stable release and update accordingly.

Regards,
